astrolibpy

This library contains a few routines I wrote or I converted from IDL.

Author (2008-2024) Sergey Koposov

Email: skoposov AT ed DOT ac DOT uk

The tools that may be still interesting to other users are

  • idlsave.py -- module for saving/restoring sets of variables in a file
  • lasso_plot -- module for selecting points on the plot by drawing a contour
  • clicker -- module for extracting one or many clicks coordinates from matplotlib plot
  • crossmatcher -- module for x-matching a table by position with a table inside a Postgresql database
  • match_lists -- x-match lists by position on the sky using kd-tree
  • mpfit -- Levenberg-Marquardt fitter (converted from IDL)
  • idlplot/idlplotInd -- set of wrappers for plotting in IDL style where your command has all the options you want. Also allows efficient histogramming, subsetting etc

The astrolib part of this repo is probably obsolete given the existance of astropy

Installation

This package does not need to be installed in the sense if of 'pip install', so if you want to you use it, you can either copy a script that you want and add it to the current directory or clone the repo and add the path to PYTHONPATH

License

The licensing for the programs I wrote myself is GPL3. For all other programs (mainly converted from IDL) I guess the license is either BSD or they are in public domain.
